Missing Milwaukee woman located, questions remain

Estella Currin ended up at hospital

WISN 12 News has learned a Milwaukee woman missing since March 24 has been located.

Estella Currin, 40, told her daughter she was heading off to her nursing job around 11 a.m. Sunday and had not been seen since.

Her husband, Jeff Currin, called WISN 12 News Friday morning to report that his wife is now home. He said she was at a local hospital for a time and does not remember what happened to her between Sunday and Friday.

Currin’s keys and wallet with her driver’s license inside were found at a Milwaukee lakefront parking garage and were turned over to art museum security around 2 p.m. Sunday.

"She finally seen her photo on the news, and something just snapped back," Jeff Currin said.

The circumstances of her disappearance are still unclear, but Currin said his wife was walking near North and Farwell avenues about 2 a.m. Friday morning. When she went past a bar, she saw her picture on a television screen. Something clicked, and she kept walking to Columbia St. Mary's Hospital, which was a block away.

"And that's when I got the call from the MPD that they found her, and she was there, 'Come get her.' … I was like there within the blink of an eye," Jeff Currin said.

He said Estella's head was shaved, and she has some unexplained scratches across her chest. Other than that the family is just she is safe and back home.

Milwaukee police said it does not appear that Estella Currin was injured, and sensitive crimes continues to investigate.
